When Earth's Mightiest Heroes disassembled, it became crystal clear to a select group of individuals what needed to be done. Over the years, as the heroes continued to distract themselves with pointless wars among themselves, invasions, sieges, and time-travelling androids, these individuals met in secret. Together they determined that while the heroes spread themselves thinner and thinner they no longer had Earth's best interests at heart. If the heroes of Earth were no longer interested in saving the world from itself, then the villains of Earth would resolve to save it by any means necessary. Led by Victor Von Doom and Helmut Zemo, this all-new cabal will conquer the planet, subjugate it's heroes, and control it's destiny for all time.

With the 13 members of the new Council Of Doom all seen now, the mysterious figure is soon set to be revealed to all. Here is some more info before the big reveal which is coming soon:

Lady Diabolyn-The enchantress of the groupThe Red Duke-Strategist of the group alongside the others mentionedLucas Plague-In charge of demolition and sabotageZorr-Even though he is really an ordinary man in an alien suit, he was granted the powers of a real alienSpace Spectre-Was granted membership in the group due to being an evil counterpart of Space Ghost, the person who destroyed the original Council Of Doom

After catering a Justice League Unlimited party and being shortchanged on the tip, deli owner Saul Lipschitz uses the power of the Infinity Lox to open a dimensional portal to bring together a team dedicated to making the Justice League pay. This group won't need onions to make them cry!

As heir to Apocalypse, Angel knew his celestial role in the world, but why stop there? From his many adventures in his former life as Angel with the X-men, he has encountered many new worlds and universes for that matter. He will bring the Apocalypse to them, all of them. But unlike his former predecessor, he will not focus on mutants just the weakest of that worlds inhabitants. Dark Angel is the living embodiment of Darwinism. Learning from his encounters with the Inhumans, and in A0A equivalent, he has set up his army in a hierarchy fashion, so welcome to the..

House Apocalypse...

Dark Angel, the heir of Apocalypse

The Inner Circle

Every general needs a second in command, and Dark Angel has found the perfect strategist in Steve Rogers

Taking the name AoA Wolverine used for his foot troopers, Dark Angels takes it for his own moving away from the "Horseman" motif that previous counterparts have used. The Black Legion, who CapsLok leads into battle, fills the same role the of the old Riders of the Storm/Dark Riders, going into a planet and "testing the weak" to see if they are fit for survival. For the record? Most are not.

Shortly after Doom consolidated his power and took over multiple universes, a splinter formed in his organization. Led by Baron Zemo, this splinter cell realized that Doom's goals no longer match up with their own. They work together in secret, desperately working to restore the proper balance to all worlds, no matter the cost.

Anyway, story:At the very split second Strucker is shot in the head by Nick Fury in Secret Warriors, Loki freezes time and pulls him out. They travel to some nexus of realities where they start recruiting villains to help them take over Earth-523, where Hydra is poised to take over the world. In this timeline, Strucker replaces his counterpart, a weakened and dying Strucker who was severely injured in a battle with Nick Fury (who he killed). Obviously Strucker is in charge of the Nation of Hydra, which thanks to Loki's mischief, now teeters on the brink of ruling the world or collapsing on itself. Talia is Strucker's second in command, having experience running both Lexcorp and the League of Assassins. Tao handles the operations of the two teams and Hydra's army. Wizard is Strucker's chief science and tech guy. Those three are the Baron's inner council. Mystique leads a covert team of Ghost, Deadshot and Elektra, who are Cerberus, Hydra's black ops. Ingrid Weiss leads the Chimera, consisting of the Apocalypse Twins, Jet Black and Evil Mary Marvel who are the Hydra field team.

The whole thing is being manipulated by Loki, who is figured out by Tao. Tao instead keeps it to himself but starts making plans to overthrow Strucker. He convinces Uriel to sabotage the Chimera by getting between Mary Marvel and Jet Black. Eventually, Talia begins to suspect something so she has Cerberus investigate Tao. Ghost learns of Tao and his intentions to overthrow Strucker. He joins Tao and helps sabotage Talia by making her think the Chimerae are planning to overthrow the Baron. She has Cerberus attack the Chimera with intentions to kill them. Tao tells Ghost to spare Uriel but Eimin learns of his betrayal and kills him and Ghost before Cerberus kills the rest of Chimera.

Meanwhile Strucker develops the same illness his replaced counterpart had so he asks Wizard to fix it. Tao manipulates Talia into believing that Wizard is trying to kill Strucker, so she sends the rest of Cerberus to face him. Wizard figures out why Strucker is dying, because Loki poisoned him, but before he can do anything he is attacked by Cerberus. He kills Elektra and is then killed by Deadshot, and as Mystique takes Wizard's research, Tao kills Deadshot. Mystique barely escapes and she leaves the info for Talia, but Loki then kills her and tells her she's going to ruin the fun. With Tao distracted, Talia finds the info. She takes it to Strucker but before she can tell Strucker, she's killed by Tao. Loki then pops in and conveniently kills Tao by disintegrating him. He then tells Strucker it was all a game as zombie SHIELD agents (lead by zombie Fury) break into the baron's room in Hydra Castle. He jumps to his death and as he's about to hit the ground he wakes up at the very split second Nick Fury is shooting him in the head.

Back when the heroes of Earth disappeared, a man put into motion his plan to give the world new heroes they could trust, but who are really masters of evil in disguise.

That man was NOT Baron Zemo/Citizen V but instead the Red Skull/Dell Rusk and his public team was not the Thunderbolts, but the Dark Avengers!

While his Dark Avengers carry out his will in the name of his most hated enemies, his Cabal serves as a brain trust, working behind the scenes and under the cover of darkness to aid the Skull's plans for world domination.

Wrarrl and Lilith are the Adam and Eve of this World of pure Evil birthing a path of the destruction across the Earth that bleeds rust and apathy through the souls of all they touch.Handpicking their Horseman of the Apocalypse and Cardinal Sin choosing his Avatars of the Deadly Vices, they create a world of fear and temptation, hate and ignorance, death and destruction! Poisoning the the hearts, minds, and souls of man, razing entire civilizations in their wake. Are there no heroes that will rise to try and bring forth a Heroic Age? Only time will tell, but how much time do we have left?
